Transcript of Developing Personalized Standards Based Curriculum on Schoology

Backwards PlanningFigure out homework, in class activities to apply knowledge, and qualifierCommon Core Aligned & NEXT Generation Science StandardsWe run a mastery model (we call it proficiency)90% of student's grade is based on standards based summative assessments 10% of students grade based on College and Career readiness Students must pass a qualifier before getting to their summative assessmentsDepartments target their standards for a unit of study.Create their summative assessment and then work backwards from there to get the students prepared.Connected EducatorsOn a Team/House we can pin point which students need extra help in certain categories or can e-mail through the team what work needs to be done.Each department has created a course on SchoologyWe use this to share content (assignments, links, quizzes, and leveled materials)Create rubricsWe create all of our own content Curated from online sources & Schoology groups etc. Advisory Curriculum We spend every Thursday & Friday in our advisory classes on Academic Support.Measure Students StrengthsTo understand ability level use state tests and lexile scores.
